For that title, i'm just gonna say that sacrament meeting yesterday was hilarious, and some kids are lawless in the most entertaining way possible.
So it's been a great week ! It has rained a bit, but that's just kind of life in Annecy. I'm just glad I have boots now !
We have a member family that is doing improvements on their house, so we painted a room. I'd never painted a ceiling before, so that was an experience, but the end result looked really nice ! I was slightly covered in paint though, so it's a good thing we had some time to clean up afterwards. I really enjoy having service projects to do, it's a fun way to get to know the members and follow the savior's example of helping others
We went to see la Visitation. I'm not gonna lie, half the motivation to visit it was because she saw my ladybug nativity that I got at the gift shop there, and decided she needed one. She's obviously right, everyone needs one.
We had our christmas party this saturday, and it was awesome to see how many families came out, and how many friends came to it ! It was fun to see everyone eating together, playing games, and watching the primary's shadow puppet show (which included a soundtrack made up with songs from random movies, including les mis and star wars, which just made it better !). And there was an older member of our branch whose wife wasn't able to come because she was sick (which we didn't know beforehand), but my companion had gotten the prompting from the spirit to bring the soup leftover from our lunch. So she put it in a cute jar and put a card on it- still not knowing who for- and then it ended up being the perfect present for him ! You never know how the spirit is going to use you, so don't be afraid to follow a prompting, even if it seems a little weird.
We also went cookie caroling yesterday. Sœur Gagon made cookies (I washed the dishes, so I helped too), and then delivered them to a member in a retirement home, a less active member, a sick member, and then a family we were eating dinner with. It's so cool to see the joy that christmas songs bring, there's a spirit that comes with them that just lights people up ! I was grateful to be able to bring that light 😊
Anyways, sorry this is short, but i'm out of time ! Love you all !
Sœur Cate
